given that there's a contact sensor in the ball, i think the world cup broadcasts are missing an opportunity to implement screen shake

❤️ I feel like one of the perks of making ‘extremely hard’ games is you know if someone finished your game, they are not blowing smoke when they say they loved it

Bennett @foddy.net · 18/06/2026
oh god, uh, apologies for the lack of serious analysis. we did finish the game after recording that and absolutely loved it

I love how the presence of random saunas in games, even in buildings that don’t have kitchens or toilets (Alan Wake 2, My Summer Car, INFRA) is the signifier of ‘this game is set in Finland’. I wish there was an Australian equivalent

I'm a huge fan of @foddy.net's work, and I'm just so tickled that my first-ever conversation with him was mostly him gushing about how good Super Mario Sunshine (his favorite Mario, and mine) is, why, and how it's informed his work over the years.

An all-time great video game moment. I'll be thinking about this for years. It's right up there with surviving Hell in Spelunky, one-shotting O&S in Dark Souls, and beating @danryckert.com's disgusting Mario Maker creations.

1991 was a year for a big wave of games that finally brought coherent, original audiovisual aesthetics to 16-bit platforms: Another World, Sonic the Hedgehog, Monkey island 2, and Gods. Nobody remembers Gods, partly because the ports are terrible, but it rules.

Given how hard it was to get into GDC sessions this year (indie soapbox, for example, had only roundtable seating and fit less than 100 people out of 25000), it feels cruddy that they no longer give vault access to folks with a conference pass.
